Le Tigre Fake French lyrics

I've got - the new sincerity.
I've got - a secret vocabulary.
I've got - MIDI in, out, thru.
I've got - dialectical sprecstimme.
I've got - herm choreography.
I've got - a conceptual stunt double.<<<<<

Kathleen hannah is a goddess. Kathleen hannah is a political maelstrom of sex and ass and rock n roll

 

I love women that other women hate. it tells me I am on the right track.

Uh, I just wanted to say that sebastian Bach and Kath,een Hanna both suck, and I think that people who pride them selves on being ANTI- Pretentious intellectual fuckers are being pretentious in their own way. ("lookit me, I like Cinderella, and not in an ironic way either! I also like shitty beer, shopping at Walmat and I don't recycle, so nah!"). just like what you like and whocares what people think? sorry about the typos, there's a 3 year old trying to grab my gl;asses ofmy face.....

People who will admit to such things, but only with the disclaimer of them being 'guilty pleasures.' People who wear their artistic taste on their sleeves as some kind of badge of identification. People who will slam Ben Folds Five and in the same breath endorse Be Your Own Pet because the latter is on Infinity Cat and not yet plastered on the radio. People who casually drop their latest film noir viewings and translated novel readings into conversation, for no other reason (despite what they say) than to advertise that they, unlike you, are culturally rounded and capable of complex thought. People who line up like lemmings to watching foreign films at their local independent theater because, well, it's an indie film - by default, it's better than anything out at the multiplex! People who tolerated Drawing Restraint 9 because they lick Bjork's whiny Nordic asshole, but won't acknowledge that Aliens is one of the best films ever made.

One of the most blatant examples of this, in my cuntish opinion, is the "What are you listening to?" thread.

I would cut off my left tit if there were some way to prove that the majority of people post on that thread for any reason other than to self-importantly crow, "Look! Look what I'M listening to! It's a B-side! I bet YOU'VE never heard it! Did you know I was that obscure? Did you know I was into such hardcore experimentalism? Well, I am. And I bet you're not. I bet YOU don't own this album. Am I avant-garde? Am I? Am I?" Why else are you posting on that thread? Do you really give a good goddamn what I'm listening to? Of course not, you're listening to your own music. Do people typically respond to other people's posts on that thread? Of course not, because they're barely even reading them; they are far too concerned with posting their own brand of advertising.

People who don't realize that Sebastian Bach will own someone like Kathleen Hanna any day of the week because he loves, truly LOVES music, lives for the pure simplistic joy of rock and roll, and isn't using it as a vehicle for a political agenda, an image stamp, a competitive artistic edge, a personality billboard.

The name-droppers, media-haters, trendophobes, rabble-rousers, corporate-bashing, extreme-left, if-more-than-15-people-have-heard-of-that-band-I-can't-buy-their-album music connossieurs -

Contrary to what you must convince yourselves of on a daily basis in order to keep your fragile egos intact, it is YOU folks who are the woefully ignorant, not those supposed intellectual inferiors you turn your noses down at. So don your pricetags, kids, for you are the true sell-outs.

I really understand what you're saying.

Though... there are people who act this way, because they WANT to be pretentious intellectuals, and there are people who really just do prefer theatre, complex films, reading, etc.


If they have likes and dislikes and can back them up, then why not? If they have likes and dislikes and can't really explain why, yet talk about them all the time/.. then arent they just someone who wants to be pretentious?


IMHO often times though pretentious people arent always that way inclined. They simply put themselves out there so obscurely so that if you're confused or annoyed by what they say, you wont talk to them.

Nah, robots can't be pretentious. They are programmed to think outside the box.
